Can you confirm if there are any education or work gaps in my profile that might affect my application for a Master's?

You have a one-year gap after graduation, during which you gained 12 months of work experience. This is generally acceptable for master's applications, as long as you can show the gap was used productively.

Admissions committees look for evidence that you engaged in meaningful activities - such as relevant work experience, internships, or skill development - during any breaks from formal education. Clearly explaining how your gap year and work experience relate to your chosen field will strengthen your application.
